The Walt Disney Company explores ILM’s more than half a century of storytelling and innovation in their newly-released video, “How Industrial Light & Magic Changed Movies Forever”. Check out the full clip below:
ILM’s SVP and general manager Janet Lewin is joined by ILM executive creative director John Knoll and Lucasfilm’s SVP and executive design director Doug Chiang. “George Lucas – he brought together artists who invented a new way of working and changed the landscape of filmmaking forever,” Lewin reflects.
“ILM, from its very inception,” adds Knoll, “had created a wonderful atmosphere of collaboration, openness, innovation, and high art.”
The video showcases a number of landmark ILM productions now available to watch on Disney+, from classic Lucasfilm stories like Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Mandalorian (2019-23) to James Cameron’s The Abyss (1989) and Gore Verbinski’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006). Each were innovative milestones in their own time and remain lasting examples of ILM’s legacy.
